\u201c(The Antigua Public Utilities Authority) is an artificial high-cost organization,\u201d says one founding member of the Democratic National Alliance (DNA), Bruce Goodwin.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cIt is an engine for patronage and corruption,\u201d continued Goodwin at the party\u2019s forth launch of their general election candidates held, this time, at the Cedar Grove Primary School in the St. John\u2019s Rural North constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been used, over the years, to generate jobs for people who do not work, who have no work to do.\u201d<\/p>

Goodwin outlined the high costs to the Antigua and Barbuda populous as a result of high fossil-fuel costs and that, \u201cindividuals and households and businesses will have to pay for that corruption\u2026 we have to pay for that patronage.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis is why we will never be able to easily afford electricity in our households and doing business will always be too expensive, because APUA is a fraud!\u201d<\/p>\n

Goodwin went on to outline that the DNA will, \u201cabolish the use of fossil fuels.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cIf a government commits itself to renewable energy, to generating most or all of the energy required here by renewable means, principally by solar, by wind,\u201d says Goodwin, \u201cin five years<\/span>, seventy-five percent of all energy needs here (in Antigua and Barbuda) can be provided by renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
